I see many discussions here that it is absolutely possible to travel with kids, it's different but worth it, you'll find a way to make it happen, etc. IMO, this is only possible if you live in a rich Western country.
I live in South Asia. Husband and I make good money and are very passionate about travel. But it's increasingly seeming like we can either travel or have kids, not both.
80% (maybe more) destinations are expensive for us given our currency. Airfares are also expensive, especially to North and South America. Then there's the overhead of getting visas -- often denied to families with young kids seen as a flight risk. A visa rejection in turn does not bode well for future applications. We couldn't travel much in our 20s due to it being unaffordable, and now at 32, we have enough money and stability to afford travel... but not with kids. I don't see how it can be done with kids, even with our very stable and well-paying jobs.
I'm curious if anyone in this sub who lives in the Global South feels this way? If you live in a poor-ish country and have managed to travel and that too with kids, how did you do it?
